Victoria de los Ángeles

Victoria de los Ángeles was one of the 20th century's most prominent lyric sopranos, with unmatched strengths in Spanish opera and vocal music. Her talents extended far beyond these into major Italian repertory as well as French, German, and even English opera. De los Ángeles died on January 15, 2005, in Barcelona. She left behind a substantial recorded repertory that continued to command admirers even after the years after her death stretched into decades. Among her recordings was a reissue of a 1980 live de los Ángeles song recital with accompanist Gerald Moore, issued under the title Victoria de los Angeles in Concert.
